Seven years we have been one,
And what has come of that?
Three boys, two fish, one house, one car,
One temporary cat.
But most of all, my precious one,
A love that’s built to last.
A love that’s conquered all the pain
And heartbreak in our past
I would another fifty years
Or longer that you stayed
Until the call of heaven can
No longer be delayed
Whatever hurts you hurts me more
When sorrow clouds your eyes
Your victories and joys, my love
Are my most treasured prize
Let the cords that bind us
Be always strong and true
Let not my selfish pride destroy
The wonder that is you.
